Washington State Taking Brunt of January Winter Storms

Washington State | It’s been quite obvious Washington State has taken the brunt of what Mother Nature has sent our way and, not in a good way. Flooding and landslides what seem to appear everywhere we turn from literally being out in the cold wind and mud to having every news outlet covering the story right here locally.

With all those news stories being covered, there is so much information out over the internet, airwaves and being reported live on TV, Youtube or ont he radio. We are hoping this helps put all of that information in one centralized location helping you become more informed.

We’ll also try to update as the information is received throughout the day/evening.
